S. Kaeth

I write fantasy novels with a touch of science fiction full of deep, immersive worlds, powerful characters, and magic that’s as organic as running or speaking. I draw a lot on with my secondary world setting, and I re-imagine traditional fantasy, building each culture from the ground up including .

My stories often feature fierce sibling relationships, found family, strong friendships and light in the darkness.
What won’t you find? Very many swords, kingdoms, or knights.

A background of a wintery mountain landscape, the same as in the cover on the left, depicting Between Starfalls by S. Kaeth, Book One of Children of the Nexus. It shows a woman with curly hair holding a bow following a wolf up a mountain path. On the right side of the image, it says "Stone Age Fantasy with a touch of science fiction" in bold red letters. In smaller black letters, it continues: "Found family, organic magic, and strong friendships define this dark epic fantasy, perfect for fans of Robin Hobb and Andre Norton. Immersive world building surrounds the powerful characters as a mother's desperate search for her son uncovers a race that was supposed to be only legend."
A dragon in flight among fluffy white clouds in a blue sky is the background. It's the same dragon as in the book cover on the left of the image, grayish purple with the sun coming through the wings turning them salmon colored. A brown-skinned woman with pale hair bound in tight braids rides on his back. The gold title reads Windward and the author is S. Kaeth. On the right of the image, it says: A Dragonrider fantasy perfect for fans of Pern. Found family, deep bonding, and a classic high fantasy feel: Windward immerses you in the world of dragonbondeds from the very first page. Palon & Windward battle to clear her name all while keeping a newly bonded teen out of trouble.
A desolate wilderness landscape with towering tan rocks serves as the background. It's the same as those shown in the book cover on the left, depicting a woman riding a horse through the wilderness, with a man on a horse following her. The title reads Beneath the Gods' Tree and the author is S. Kaeth. On the right, the text reads: Low Fantasy Action Adventure with Romance. Strong sibling relationships, strong friendships, and a friends-to-lovers subplot (mild steam) stuff this low-fantasy novel full of heart (and so much banter). Immersive worldbuilding shows the world through a single, third-person past tense PoV. Main character anxiety rep and gay side characters lead the diverse cast.

I have two free novellas available as samples of my style, characters, and world:

Palon is a prequel novella for my rider novel Windward, and Prelude Cycle is set prior to my novel Between Starfalls with four short stories from each of the four main PoVs.

Cover for Palon, with words "Want a FREE ebook? Dragons and riders, powerful bonding, mentor figure, a mystery illness, found family."

My novel Windward is a dragon rider novel like Pern, but the dragons have the more powerful weight in the bond, and both rider and dragon change each other through the bond.

My multi-PoV epic fantasy series Children of the Nexus begins with Between Starfalls and slowly leans into blending in the sci-fi elements, and opens up slowly to the wider world, exploring the effects of historical events and cultural miscommunications.
